The New York Mets are in a troubling slump, losing 12 of their last 15 games, and currently sit just half a game behind the leading Philadelphia Phillies in the National League East after holding a significant lead earlier in the month. Following a disheartening 9-2 loss to the Pittsburgh Pirates, the players gathered for a team meeting to address their struggles, emphasizing the importance of winning and acknowledging their collective mistakes on the field. This meeting, while often seen as a last resort, may be crucial in helping the team regain focus and snap their recent losing streak. The Mets have dealt with injuries to key pitchers including ace Kodai Senga and Tylor Megill, compounding their struggles. However, with an upcoming homestand against playoff contenders and teams with losing records, there is hope for a turnaround.
